Boy's Night Out

Arturo's, a vestige of the Village's Italian heritage, is known for its coal oven pizza, live jazz every night and a stable of local characters. Warren is a late night (or early morning) regular, but I haven't been there since we moved uptown from Mercer Street 13 years ago. Alex came by after work at the nearby Village Voice and, after some house red at the bar and a discussion with one of the waitresses about when the place first opened (1957, it was printed on her shirt), we settled into a booth under the neon lights in the front window.

Baked clams and mussels in white wine first, then a large pizza (tomato sauce over the cheese) and a plate of pasta in red sauce that Alex delicately sucked in. Wait for a table in the front room, where the jazz is, and stick to the pizza.
